Shaving and the Gospel . . . really . . .
Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2006 4:42 pm
I've been lurking here, with great results for my shaves, for several months. Thanks to all the regulars for the great tips and the spirit of the place.
I'm a writer for, among other outlets, the magazine Books & Culture: A Christian Review and recently wrote an essay about the world of wet shaving. In a humorous sequence of events, a pastor friend of mine named Daniel Harrell picked up the article and used portions of it for a sermon, which was subsequently picked up by none other than the ShaveBlogger himself.
For those of you interested in reading the full piece (which starts out with some of the nuts and bolts of the wet shaving movement and moves on to reflections on manhood, the Odyssey, and the Christian doctrine of salvation, believe it or not), it's now available here: The Best a Man Can Get.
Cheers -
